“You can’t be neutral on a moving train.”
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” “To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.” “We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” “History is not a mere record of the past; it is a weapon for the future.” |
